Dawning Light was « magazine de- veted to things mediumistic It Nved three tesues and, like false dawn, faded. Macerde had capitalized Dawning Light's good will for $60,000, His middle name te Atwood, #0 he oalled the presses the Atwood Press Company. Those who ought Dawning Light were ehown the bulky presses whirling away, piling up nioe fat dividends. One such was Mre. John Donald of No.,169 Van Dyke street, Brooklyn. At the time of the purchase she was Mrs. Emma Stainton and lived on Eleventh treet, Brooklyn. From the $100,000 es- nate of her husband she had received $10,000 and was living comfortably ‘when ehe attended one of Macurda’ seances. The spirit of her dead hu and spoke to her through Macurd: end ehe bought Dawning Light—$1,160 ‘worth of it. Mra. Donald declares Macurda told her the stock would earn $10 a week, or about 60 per cent. a year. dividends were forthcoming the women reproached Macurda. Then, she says, he gave Ther $10 as the first dividend, ‘vat she received no more and soon Ma- eurda informed her the magazine had ceased to publish. The presses be- came the property of the Atwood Pri POLICE MATRON SETS A TRAP FOR THE MEDIUM. At Macurda's seance Sunday were two pelice matrons, Mra, Adele F. Preiss, who bought a private reading from the medium, and Mrs. Hattle Young, who wished the spirits’ advice on how to invest her dead husband's money. Mea. Young was told many things by Macurda, including the interesting fact thet.ehe bad Indian blood in her veins. @be agreed that Macurda was certainly @ wonderfully gifted man, and it only toeis-ten minutes for Macurda to get her across the street to the Atwood Press in the Miller Building. Here she quid baveot $1,000 with amazing result. But that Was not what the widow wanted ee much. There was a little cripple in and the widow thought {t would be a fice thing for her to have a Iittle present of stock which would bring In a little dividend every quarter, say, about 20) wort, just ae a present for the little cripple, Macurda thought so too, and to-day was eet for the sale of the stock. Macurda was arrested a yeur ago by Mre. Isabella Goodwin and was put on probation for a year, It was during the year of good behavior that he began the Dawning Light affair and etarted his ecances again. oe WILSON GETTING BETTER, BUT NO TURKEY FOR HIM.
